SDK Question Stepping through code external to function call

[JMW]

How can I step through up to "padcount" externally to funtion call?
That is to choose a pad without having to re-input base every time.

bool InputTarget(void *id, char *bstr, void *user_data)
{
	VESSEL3 *vessel = (VESSEL3*)oapiGetFocusInterface();
	oapiSetHUDMode (HUD_SURFACE);
	DWORD navtype ;

OBJHANDLE hPlanet = oapiGetGbodyByName("Earth");

OBJHANDLE hBase = oapiGetBaseByName(hPlanet, bstr);
	double lat;
	double lon;
if (hBase == NULL &&sscanf(bstr,"%lf %lf",&lat,&lon) != 2 ) return false;


			int nBase=oapiGetBaseCount(hPlanet);

			for (int i=0; i< nBase; i++) {
			
				base = bstr;
							}
if (hBase != NULL) 

{

	int status = 1;
			
		 padcount = oapiGetBasePadCount(hBase); 
		if(padcount > 0)
		{
		NAVHANDLE hNav = NULL;
		[COLOR="Red"][B]for ( p = next; p != padcount && status !=0; ++p) {[/B][/COLOR]
			
			oapiGetBasePadStatus(hBase, p, &status);

	//{sprintf(oapiDebugString(),"nextp %02.2i ", next);}		
	//{sprintf(oapiDebugString(),"Pad No %02.2f ", status);}

			hNav = oapiGetBasePadNav(hBase, p);

	if (hNav != NULL)
		{
		padNo = p+1;

			if (hNav != NULL) 
			
				navtype = oapiGetNavType(hNav);
			
			if (navtype != 3 &&navtype != 4 &&navtype != 5)
				{
				
			oapiGetBasePadEquPos(hBase, p, &tgtlng, &tgtlat, &tgtrad);

sprintf(oapiDebugString(),"Target VTOL long %01.04f : lat %01.04f : Base %01.14s : Pad %01.03i : Next %01.02i", tgtlng, tgtlat, base, p+1, next);
			
			Nav = 1;
			
				}	
		}
								}
		
		if(p == padcount+1 )
			{nopad = 1;}
				
NAVType = navtype;
nvtype = navtype;
		if (hNav == NULL)
			Nav = 0;
	
		if (hNav != NULL)
			{nopad = 0;}
		}

status2 = status;
}
if (sscanf(bstr,"%lf %lf",&lon,&lat) == 2 )
{
	tgtlat = lat *RAD ;//* (PI / 180 );
	tgtlng = lon *RAD ;//* (PI / 180);
Nav = 1;
}

OBJHANDLE hRef = hBase;
((ShuttlePB *)user_data)->Base = bstr;

 return true;
}

I have

case OAPI_KEY_C :   
			{
				if(p<padcount+1)
				next = next+1;
				
		return true;
			}

which goes through the pads ok, but have to (obviously) input base each step.

Any help appreciated............lease:

The simplest way, in my opinion would bet to break it down into two sub-functions, a "targetbase" function and a "targetpad" function and call both of them in turn.


Alternately you could simply set up your base hBase variable so that in the absence of any user input it simply reverts to the last saved target. (assuming there is one)

Thanks Hlynkacg, I'll try your first suggestion:thumbup:
